Chapter 11

The ache in the chest.....

Jade pov

" Guard please my child!" I tried pursuing but it was no use.

I look around, I stare at Stella but she just avoided eye contact with me and kept ironing the clothes she was given.

" Stella. What's going on? Why are the guards being like this. Is something wrong with Bright? Why are they taking him. I left him with you earlier." I couldn't stop questioning.

" Jade, you're acting strange. Why are you asking me? Whenever it's hard you ask me for help,if something happens is it my fault?" She said nervously.

"Stella!" I called.

" I am not Bright's mother. You are." She proceeds in the ironing.

Suddenly she was pulled behind from her hair. Boss lady held her and pushed her head on one of the tables. She made her face side. Boss lady grabs a hot steamy iron close to her face,I was frightened at the suddenly turn.

" Hey! You brat. Why'd you do it? Tell me!" The iron got closer I tried stopping her but her girls held me.

" What did hit and run ever do to you? And that baby?" She kept asking.

What's going on here?

" Why are you doing this to a person who doesn't know anything?!" She cries.

I pushed one of the girls and released my self.

" Why are you doing this?! Let her go." I tried dragging the iron from her.

" Let go" she pushes me away.

I come back dragging it again.

" Common that's enough. Please stop it!" I dragged again.

Boss lady and I kept fighting for the iron. Before I knew it Stella let loose she raised her head and pushed the two of us away from her making me tumble on the floor,boss lady let's go of the iron involuntarily and it ended up landing on my shoulder. The steam of the iron increases as I scream in pain.

I was immediately rushed to the clinic. My Bright is meant to be there. After all he was injured,so he must be in the clinic.

"Doctor,is my Baby all right? What happened? No one's telling me." The guards which brought me here kept trying to lie me on the bed but I kept struggling asking for my baby.

" Stay still" one of the guards said.

" My child, my baby please. Someone anyone please where's he" I kept struggling.

" Where's my child?! Where's my child?!" I kept struggling and screaming. More guards walked in and they brought handcuffs. They cuffed both my hands and legs to the hospital bed. Yet I kept struggling.

Where could they have taken him!

" Where's my......" I was injected something before I knew it everywhere felt whoozy black out.

Opening my eyes I was back in my room,that's was when I felt a sharp pain at my left shoulder. Then it hits me.

William.

I went straight to the call room.

" Hello this is William....." I didn't let him finish.

" I know! Please about my parole"

" We're on it "

" I don't care about that anymore. I don't care if I have to stay here for the rest of my life. Please just please tell them to return my son back to me. Please." I started crying.

What Bright must be going through.

" What?!" William sounded surprised

" They said I abused my child" I sniff.

" You know that it's nonsense! They are not letting me have Bright again. Please find our baby. Please?"

" What happened?! Please, tell me in detail." He said.

" They said he ate something wrong. I don't really know either. They said there was wound on his body,but there's no wound that I don't know about! There are no wound that I haven't seen on his body. But then......" I cried harder.

" They say that I'm the one who did that! I mean......why would I?" I started shouting.

" I'm his mother why would I!.......why?!"

" Calm down and listen to me carefully." He responded.

" I'll find out what happened,so wait. Do you understand? "

I nodded.

" Please.... please..... please!" I sobbed even more.

" Our child. They took our child."

" William! William? William?!"

He hung up on me?

" Hello? William?! " I try again.

" 208 your time has expired" a guard came up to meet me. I tried his line over and over. They tried pulling me out of the room. I started struggling again.

" Please five more minutes please!" I begged.

" Come out now!" They dragged me out finally.

After they took me out, they carried me to a room. A very dark room and shoved me in.

" You're staying here till you calm down okay?!" Stephanie yelled at me and jams the door.

Handcuffed in the dark room. The air of loneliness filled the room. I miss my baby.

" stars are crying,I'm helpless, catching tears drops in my hands, wish I could hold you in my arms,No one can replace you in my heart. What did I do to deserve this as they watch me while I bleed? They've taken everything I had,they've broken everything I am, do I deserve this? Do I deserve.......this?" I sang quietly as I cry.

Hoping it would make me feel better. Something my mom do anytime I was sad. She sang to me. My dad did that too sometimes after her death but soon stop. I never stopped singing to myself. I'm sorry mummy,but.....this doesn't even make me feel better the littlest.

Williams!

" The first time I felt your gaze, was it just my own misunderstood? With your Bright smile,you made me into a fool.

For you,who came back to me,I will give you my everything, forever in this way. I trust him so blindly" I tried singing again but it just made me cry harder.

William pov

I was called by Elizabeth, she invited me for coffee. We've been seeing each other lately and I think I'm beginning to grow even more interest in her. And I think she's interested too. I know I've decided to wait for Jade but I have a doubt it'll ever be the same.

" Hey Will" she greeted. Her sweet voice echoing.

" Hi. What happened that you called so urgent?" I asked.

" Oh nothing. I just need someone to talk to right now please. " She plead.

" Wanna go to the bar?" She asked me.

" Sure wherever you want" I said. She stood up and walks out, me following from behind. We got into her car and drove off.

" Sometimes I don't know why I even come to you. I guess I feel comfortable." She shrug taking a sip of wine.

" Maybe?" I agreed with her.

" Anyways my engagement is tomorrow, you should be there. "

I felt a sharp pain in my chest.

" I'll be there." I sip my wine.

" Thanks" she finished her wine and left me there wondering.

The engagement started off really well. She was the most beautiful woman there. She had worn a black long slim fitted gown and a silver necklace,with a white heels. Nathan wore a white suit and shoe.

" There's something I would like to announce. taking on joint responsibility on King Hotel. I introduce you to my partner" Nathan started.

Elizabeth seated elegantly beside him as he announced. He walks towards her taking her hand. Everyone clapping. Elizabeth smiling widely and waving at everyone as they take their pictures.

I see them whisper something to themselves.

"Our king group and the president Mr Starks. In honor of! " Mr King toast.

" Cheers" everyone cheers.

Immediately Nathaniel and Elizabeth clink their glasses a lot of paparazzi burst in. Taking their pictures and questioning them. Elizabeth didn't look so good.

" When did you meet?" They asked.

" Are you just doing this for the company?" Another asked.

" Didn't Mr Nathaniel have a girlfriend?"

" Was he cheating on you?"

" What's with the sudden announcement for the wedding?"

" Do you think you can replace his dead girlfriend?"

Elizabeth didn't look good at all.

After the event, Nathan went on discussing with his father. Elizabeth ran out now was my chance again to help.

" Are you okay?" I asked her.

She turned around.

" You can smell the whole thing is manipulated?"

I just smiled.

" I feel he set me up. " She smiles.

" Hmm, I believe I asked you earlier if you were okay?"

" What if I'm not okay,then what? Are you going to console me or something?" She asked me and walked away.

" Hey prosecutor been a while" A familiar voice calls.

" What'd you want this time?" I asked. He smiled.

" oh nothing" he shrugs.

" I just wanted to gift you this" he hands me a mini shining box.

" What's is it?" I asked.

He opens it and I see a golden watch.

" Accept it without burden. It's a token of my appreciation." He smirks at me.

" No, thank you." I gave him back.

" I think time is so relative. 2 years seemed like a day,but then it's boring too. I want that girl to come out quickly, so that I can make her the most unfortunate woman in the world. But then I also wish she would rot in jail for the rest of her life." He says with a very serious face.

" I had no one to talk to about things like this with but it good. I feel like you're my friend, prosecutor William. Accepting my request very well. Let's be friends."He stretch his hand for handshake.

" The relationship only one person talks about one sided, it's not called a friend." I rejected.

" Then, should we hear a bit of your story?"

" I would like to be on my way. " I stood up and left.

Two weeks later.....

Jade's pov

I was strangely granted bail. So unexpectedly. William came to pick me up. I can't wait to leave and find where they kept my baby. My dad too.

I went to the dressing room to un change. Removing the uniform which labelled '208' I was so glad I was removing the clothes. I pulled it off and stare at myself at the mirror, I smile at the scar I got from the iron steam. It a reminder of how human can be cruel but I won't let that get to me. This is for me to be stronger.

I wore my top. Repacked my hair into a ponytail.

" Open the gates." One of the guards ordered the gate guard.

I stare at the gate as it opened slowly, the sun shining already. I breath out,close my eyes, as I walked out of the station. I opened my eyes, the sun almost taking my sight. Been long since I saw out side.

I began walking, I should be able to get a cab around here. The wind blowing my hair.

" Jade!"

I know that voice anywhere.

Did we have to really meet.

I turn around only to be face to face with William. He was about five feet away from me. Before I could process he was running towards me, got close to me and before I knew it he was hugging me.

I hugged him back after a while smiling.

Would I be able to tell you I love you again?!

Williams turns me around when we were hugging and I met his gaze. He was in a car watching us. We maintained eye contact for a while and he smirked.

I'm beginning to think he's going to make my freedom a living hell like he promised me.

" I missed you so much!" William whisper through the hug.

Do I?
